Upgrading
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
If you've been using StatusNet 1.0 or lower, or if you've
|
|
been tracking the "git" version of the software, you will probably
|
|
want to upgrade and keep your existing data. Try these step-by-step
|
|
instructions; read to the end first before trying them.
|
|
|
|
0. Download StatusNet and set up all the prerequisites as if you were
|
|
doing a new install.
|
|
1. Make backups of both your database and your Web directory. UNDER NO
|
|
CIRCUMSTANCES should you try to do an upgrade without a known-good
|
|
backup. You have been warned.
|
|
2. Shut down Web access to your site, either by turning off your Web
|
|
server or by redirecting all pages to a "sorry, under maintenance"
|
|
page.
|
|
3. Shut down XMPP access to your site, typically by shutting down the
|
|
xmppdaemon.php process and all other daemons that you're running.
|
|
If you've got "monit" or "cron" automatically restarting your
|
|
daemons, make sure to turn that off, too.
|
|
4. Shut down SMS and email access to your site. The easy way to do
|
|
this is to comment out the line piping incoming email to your
|
|
maildaemon.php file, and running something like "newaliases".
|
|
5. Once all writing processes to your site are turned off, make a
|
|
final backup of the Web directory and database.
|
|
6. Move your StatusNet directory to a backup spot, like "statusnet.bak".
|
|
7. Unpack your StatusNet 1.1.1 tarball and move it to "statusnet" or
|
|
wherever your code used to be.
|
|
8. Copy the config.php file and the contents of the avatar/, background/,
|
|
file/, and local/ subdirectories from your old directory to your new
|
|
directory.
|
|
9. Copy htaccess.sample to .htaccess in the new directory. Change the
|
|
RewriteBase to use the correct path.
|
|
10. Upgrade the database.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this step is destructive and cannot be
|
|
reversed. YOU CAN EASILY DESTROY YOUR SITE WITH THIS STEP. Don't
|
|
do it without a known-good backup!
|
|
|
|
In your new StatusNet 1.1.1 directory and AFTER YOU MAKE A
|
|
BACKUP run the upgrade.php script like this:
|
|
|
|
php ./scripts/upgrade.php
|
|
|
|
11. Use mysql or psql client to log into your database and make sure that
|
|
the notice, user, profile, subscription etc. tables are non-empty.
|
|
12. Turn back on the Web server, and check that things still work.
|
|
13. Turn back on XMPP bots and email maildaemon.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the 1.0.0 version of StatusNet changed the URLs for all admin
|
|
panels from /admin/* to /panel/*. This now allows the (popular)
|
|
username 'admin', but blocks the considerably less popular username
|
|
'panel'. If you have an existing user named 'panel', you should rename
|
|
them before upgrading.
|
|
|
|
UTF-8 Database
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from a 0.8.x or 0.9.x version, you can safely
|
|
skip this section.
|
|
|
|
StatusNet 0.7.4 introduced a fix for some incorrectly-stored
|
|
international characters ("UTF-8"). This fix is not
|
|
backwards-compatible; installations from before 0.7.4 will show
|
|
non-ASCII characters of old notices incorrectly. This section explains
|
|
what to do.
|
|
|
|
0. You can disable the new behaviour by setting the 'db''utf8' config
|
|
option to "false". You should only do this until you're ready to
|
|
convert your DB to the new format.
|
|
1. When you're ready to convert, you can run the fixup_utf8.php script
|
|
in the scripts/ subdirectory. If you've had the "new behaviour"
|
|
enabled (probably a good idea), you can give the ID of the first
|
|
"new" notice as a parameter, and only notices before that one will
|
|
be converted. Notices are converted in reverse chronological order,
|
|
so the most recent (and visible) ones will be converted first. The
|
|
script should work whether or not you have the 'db''utf8' config
|
|
option enabled.
|
|
2. When you're ready, set $config['db']['utf8'] to true, so that
|
|
new notices will be stored correctly.
|
|
|
|
Older versions
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: StatusNet 0.7.4 introduced a fix for some
|
|
incorrectly-stored international characters ("UTF-8"). For new
|
|
installations, it will now store non-ASCII characters correctly.
|
|
However, older installations will have the incorrect storage, and will
|
|
consequently show up "wrong" in browsers. See below for how to deal
|
|
with this situation.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the database definition file, laconica.ini, has been renamed to
|
|
statusnet.ini (since this is the recommended database name). If you
|
|
have a line in your config.php pointing to the old name, you'll need
|
|
to update it.
|
|
|
|
Note that the XMPP bots have changed since version 0.5; see above for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Privacy
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
With StatusNet 1.0, our default install profile is for private sites.
|
|
|
|
If you did not specify the privacy level of your site previously, it
|
|
was public. Now, it's private.
|
|
|
|
If you upgrade a public site, you will need to reset the privacy
|
|
level. You can do this in your config.php:
|
|
|
|
$config['site']['private'] = false;
|
|
|
|
...or with setconfig.php in the db:
|
|
|
|
php setconfig.php site private false
|
|
|
|
...or with the site admin panel.
